After his surprise visit to the Pirates of the Caribbean attraction at Disneyland in California last month, Johnny Depp gave Disneyland Paris a jolt on Sunday as he disembarked in front of a galleon moored at the park’s Castle. Disney’s Pirates Of The Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales (or Salazar’s Revenge as it’s known in some international markets) begins rollout on May 24, and there’s been no shortage of promotional events to go along with the fifth movie in the franchise.
On May 4, tracking had Dead Men Tell No Tales raking in as much as $100M over the domestic Memorial Day Weekend. It’s been six years since On Stranger Tides released in a similar corridor and went on to gross over $1B worldwide, $804M from international.
This was all ahead of the film’s European premiere at Gaumont Disney Village, which was simulcast to a dozen IMAX theaters across the continent. Local celebrities including Cécile de France, Nagui, Maréva Galanter, Frank Gastambide, Malik Benthala and Eric Judor also attended as well as a host of influencers.
